Ebay suspended my account for 1 year for Shill Bidding. I was selling an item, and my sister-in-law who lives in my house and uses my wireless network placed a couple of bids on my stuff (without my knowledge). She knew I was trying to make a profit, and she also knew if I had known she wanted to buy it for my Brother i would have sold it to her for cost. So she placed a couple bids but didnt win the item. Ebay informed me I was being suspended for 1 year for Shill Bidding (bidding up the price of an item). I offered proof of the situation both on paper (with IDs) and also offered verbal verification but I was still Suspended.
After alot of pointless emails to the idiots at Ebay I gave up. I decided to accept my punishment for not knowing the rules.
I was just informed that I will not be reinstated after the 1 year like I was told many times. No explanation of this ruling... Just a one line email.
